sagsr-King spreckels Gives some Fscts
About the Horrible DiseAse.
Claus Spreckels, the man who is sup
posed to own the Hawaiian Islands
among other little things, is here, and
is one of the most noted men in town.
Spreckels is 8 stout man. with white
hair and beard. His most striking feat
ure is his eyes. and such eyes they are.
They are gray and blue at times, and
seem to look right through you. He
speaks with a slight German accent
and uses gestures freely to emphasize
his remarks. He said to the correspond
ent: II am at loss to understand the
apathy of The people of the United
States towards the Hawaiian Islands.
Naturally in the course of time they
would become part of the domain of
this country, and they will. too, if we
would only take some interest in the
great properties owned by Americans
there. 1t is the most glorious climate
in the world The temperature never
varies more than eight degrees and the
soil will grow every thing that's known
to the earth. The people are splendid
specimens and of excellent disposi-
ton"
"How about leprosy"
II can tell you IS much aboutleprosy
as any other man, but really do not
pretend 10 understand it The lepers
are banished TO an island, from whence
they are never allowed TO return. No
body has ever been able to learn
how leprosy originated or how 1t
can be cured Il appears in the
most curious ways, and lesveSmen' and
women untouched whohsye suffered the
greatest exposure. The most striking
instance of this fact is the case of the
present Queen of Hawaii. The King
is her second husband. Her first hus-
band was leper. and her two children
by him both died by the horrible dis
ease. and yet she is . perfectly healthy
woman. Nobody knows how leprosy
is communicated. The most eminent
authorities who have looked into the
subjectcontendt that il is noscontagious
Several years ago q white man was
condemned to death for . murder
which he had committed. The au-
thorities allowed him to choose be-
tween being executed or passing into
the hands of . noted German physician
for experimental purposes. The crimi-
mar cheerfully chose the latter. He
was inoculated time and time again
with leprosy. but the disease had no eff
feet upon him. and to-day he is as
healthy q man as there is on the
islands Leprosy does not often attack
the white race, for out of the thousands
of cases there are to-day only about
half dozen Caucssians. These are facts
beyond dispute. In my judgment
England will take some very aggressive
measures to obtain possession of the
islands before many years. The native
race is rapidly dying out, and it is a
question of very short time before the
country will pass under the control of
. foreign power. Washington Cor.

The heath of chronic catarrh patien

The breath of chronic catarrh patient
is often so offensive that he cannot 90 into
society and becomes SO object of disgust.
After time liberation sets in, the sponpy
bones are attached and frequently entirely
destroyed. A constant source of discom-
fort is the dripping of the purulent secre-
tions in the throat, sometimes producing
inveterste bronchitis, which in its turn has
been the exciting cause of pulmonary dis
ease. The brilliant results which have st
tended its use for years past properly des-
ignate Ely's Cream Balm as BY far the
best, if not the only real cure for hay fever,
rose cold and catarrh.

JUSTICE IN ENGLAND.
A Country Where Judges FAN to Make tn
Punishment Fit the Crime.

A Country Where Judges Fail to Make the
Punishment Fit the Crime.
The English are very proud O. the
promptness with which their criminals
are tried, but they rarely call attention
to the chronic failure to make the pun
ishment fit the crime. Theft is pun
ished with cruel severity, but other
and more serious offenses are regarded
by the courts as trivial. The following
lines are not so much travesty on
English justice as one might suppose:
Scene: A British court of justice
toward the close of the nineteenth CEN
fury. Judge, jury, counsel and pris-
oner discovered over a conclusion of
trial on charge of manslaughter.
Judge finishing upland though the
fact that the woman whose hair you
tore out in handfulls and subsequently
kicked to death happened to have been
your wife would naturally have told
much in your favor, and have enabled
me to take a lenient view of your con-
duct, still, human hair and human
life are valuable things, and
these cases are, am sur
prised to see, getting rather COM
mon. I must, therefore, pass on you
the severest sentence the law enables
me to infiict. You will be imprisoned
for the space of ten calendar days"
(Sensation, during which the prisoner
is removed with a wink. when the next
case, one of common larceny. is called
on, and being rapidly disposed of. re-
suits in another verdict of guilty.)
Judge (once more finishing up)-
Sand now there remains nothing more
for me to do but to assign you the pun
ishment for your crime which it so
richly deserves. You have been found
in unlawful possession of small guam
tity of false hair, of which you can give
no satisfactory account. And about
your case 1 can discover no mitigating
circumstances. You have not secured
it by violent assault. You are not mar
ried, and you can not, therefore, allege
as a plea for mercy, that you tore it
freely from the head of your half MUIR
dered wife. 1t is false hair, taken pos
sibly from the very counter itself. and
worth. I should presume, tenpence to
IN enterprising barber. Yours is, in
short, grave and heinous offence.
The sentence Is that you be kept in
prison for period of fifteen year."

To see her standing coyly there,
And passion thrilled my tender greeting

But nov vainly try to blot her :
From out heart of miseree,
For she was but a. female spotter-
Sit still, my soul-she spotted me!

NO.. a..

tons Of the gift. When Charlie
Colville became a benedict this cane
fell into the hands of VIM. Biles, who,
unfortunately lost it in a short while,
and for several years its whereabouts
were unknown. To this calamitous
circumstance is no doubt due the fact
that Mr.. Biles is today bachelor,
and that several of his intimate
friends are approaching dangerously
near that period. But the cane has
been found. Mr.. Biles was sporting
it last Sunday, and although feeling
a little indisposed, he appeared to be
enthused with new hope. If this
magic wand has not lost its charm
we may reasonably expect soon to see
several young gentlemen who have
hitherto seemed resigned to the fate
of bachelorhood beginning to look
around for eligible cottages and take
items on the cost of furniture. Who
knows but what it may be the be-
ginning of our boom?

Geo. w. DeHaven's Show and
Menagerie will exhibit at Sparta, on
Tuesday, May, II, McMinnville,
Wednesday, May Is, and Manches-
ter, Tuesday, May 10. Their bill car
was here this friday morning, and
all the available walls and board
fences were adorned with their pic
lures. This is somewhat different
from the ordinary run of travelling
shows. 1t comes strictly under the
head ofthe term, "show." 1t is not
circus and they make no street
parade. They have an interesting
managerie of rare animals, and a
museum of many wonderful curiosi-
ties. BY cutting off the superhuous
expense of the street parade, they
are enabled to give a more interest
ing show under their canvass at the
popular admission fee of SO cents,
children Is cents. Our exchanges at
places where this show has exhibited
speak of it in the highest terms as a
moral entertainment, and in every
respect worthy of patronage.

Has 1t Lost its Charm.

A decade and a half ago, or more
perhaps, Col. D. NJ, Donnell present
ed to the young men of McMinnville
a handsome gold-headed walking
cane. 1t is know as the marrying
cane, and is supposed to possess a
subtle charm in assisting young men
into the elysium of connubial bliss.
For many years every young man
who carried the cane was enabled by
some means to contract a happy
marriage in a few months, and each
in turn, upon the event Of his we'd
ding, handed it down to the next
most eligible candidate for matrimo-
ny, in compliance with the condi-
